General Measurement Techniques
[0045]The physical and chemical properties exhibited by the lubricant compositions prepared according to the teachings of the present disclosure are measured using the equipment and test protocols or procedures described below and herein. One skilled in the art will understand that any properties reported herein represent properties that are routinely measured and can be obtained by multiple different methods. The methods described herein represent one such method and other methods may be utilized without exceeding the scope of the present disclosure.
[0046]Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is used to obtain the molecular mass distributions of the polymer samples. The weight average molecular mass (Mw) can influence many polymer properties, such as viscosity. The siloxane branch content is determined using an INOVA 400 / Mercury 400 NMR. The density (η) and kinematic viscosity (ν) are measured simultaneously over a temperature range of 303K to 398K in in...

Preparation of Polysiloxane Base Oils
[0057]A commercially available alkylarylsiloxane (Xiameter® OFX-0203 Fluid, Dow Corning Corporation, Midland, Mich.) having a viscosity of 1,200 mPa-s (centipoise) at 25° C. is used as an example of a polysiloxane base oil having structure SW. This sample was stored as example # S(I)-1. A similar alkylarylsiloxane was obtained and stored as example # SW-2.
[0058]Examples of polysiloxane base oils having an aryl group attached to branched or linear alkyl functionality, similar to that shown as structure SOD, include PPMAS, such as poly(phenylhexylmethyl dimethyl)siloxane or poly(phenylhexylmethyl)siloxane. One method of synthesizing poly(phenylhexylmethyl dimethyl)siloxane is by the hydrosilation of 6-phenylhexene with poly(methylhydridedimethyl)siloxane using (CpH)2PtCl2 as the catalyst according to Equation 6. This reaction is undertaken with no solvent and takes approximately 4 hours to complete. The excess 6-phenylhexene is then isomerized and ...

Characterization of Polysiloxane Base Oils and Use Thereof
[0060]The typical physical and chemical properties exhibited by the polysiloxane base oils labeled as example #'s S(I)-1 and S(I)-2 are summarized in Table 1 along with the properties of several conventional oils (Example #'s C-1 and C-6). Base oil example #'s S(I)-1 and SW-2 exhibit a viscosity at 40° C. greater than about 9 times that of conventional oils (C-1, C-6). Alternatively, the viscosity at 40° C. of the example #'s S(I)-1 and S(I)-2 is greater than about 1000 mm2·s−1 (cSt), alternatively greater than about 1200 mm2·s−1 (cSt).
